https://youtu.be/tEJpm0q5NUs (Link cleared to post) Premiere via The FADER New 2018 tour dates Moaning out March 2nd worldwide on Sub Pop   “Artificial” is the new and very official video from Moaning’s forthcoming self-titled, debut album, helmed by the directorial team A Stranger.  Guitarist Sean Solomon says of the shimmery, 120 Minutes-style visual, "The video mirrors the themes of insincerity and artificiality in the song. To shoot the video we used practical effects to warp the viewers perception of what’s happening. It was appropriately shot in Los Angeles on 35mm film much like other disingenuous Hollywood productions [link here].” The FADER had this to say of the video, “The song is about what really lies beneath, and like the truth, "Artificial" is distressing, nuanced, and ultimately cathartic. In the video directed by A Stranger, Moaning's members dress in all white and play in a tinfoiled house with lots of fake plants, with their faces occasionally distorted and mirrored in very cool fashions (see video premiere January 15th).”   Moaning will be available on CD/LP/CS/DL worldwide through Sub Pop.  The 10-track album, featuring “Artificial” and “Don’t Go” along with highlights “Tired” “The Same,” and “Misheard,” was recorded and engineered by Alex Newport in Los Angeles. Preorders for Moaning are available now through Sub Pop [link here]. LP preorders through megamart.subpop.com and select independent retailers will receive the limited Loser edition on pink vinyl (while supplies last). A new t-shirt design will also be available. Moaning’s current tour schedule in support of the album begins March 9th, with a hometown release show in Los Angeles on March 9th at the Echo, and runs through March 23 in Salt Lake City at Kilby Court. The band will also appear at SXSW. Additional live dates will be announced soon.
